NPC ships sticking on asteroids

Perhaps this has been reported. But on many, many space missions there have been numerous ships getting stuck on asteroids and become untargetable from most directions. But they can continue to shoot you thorough the rocks.

    Development team just called... they said you're #1 on the list. Now hold your breathe till its done!


    Smarts, no?

    Here's a workaround fix - if they can see you, you can see them. Try to get on a higher or lower plane (depending on how they are stuck).

    I've used this as a stopgap until the collision detection/pathing gets patched. Seems to work so far - even on the escort missions.

    I've tried that but it rarely works for me. I just leave the immediate vicinity letting them blast away at me until they start to follow.

    I have this happen occasionally, usually the best option that has worked 100% for me is move far enough away they start to follow. Also mines work wonders for a lot of these missions.

    This is my 4th* contribution to this particular area of the forum (Buggy Issues)

    Yeah I got this problem too- and it sucks.

    I got a team of 3 who can't target the damn enemy because he's half-planted into an asteroid- and byt the time I get into firing range of him- he's taken down half of me..


    Naturally he can still fire on me but I can;t target him while he's "implanted"

    Enough of the Implants Cryptic.. Let's Get Real..

    No more starships in asteroids please! BUGG!!!!!
